How To Dress Like The 'Stranger Things' Demogorgon & Become The Scariest Member Of Your Squad

If you marathoned Netflix's addictive new sci-fi series Stranger Things, then you likely hid your face in your hands at the appearance of the streaming series' seriously gruesome monster. There's a lot to fear about Stranger Things' "Monster" — not-so-affectionately called "the Demogorgon" by Mike, Lucas and Dustin in reference to the fictional monster from Dungeons & Dragons — but you'd probably be able to guess that by simply looking at the Demogorgon's slimy, semi-transparent skin. The Demogorgon is responsible for Will's disappearance, for Barb's tragic and highly unjust demise, and, of course, for Eleven's selfless sacrifice. The Demogorgon is downright terrifying, and though you wouldn't want to run into it during a vacation to the Upside Down (also, if you are vacationing in the Upside Down, please learn to use Yelp! correctly and leave right now), one thing you might want is to channel it for Halloween. But, how can you turn the Demogorgon into a killer Halloween costume? It's possible, but you've gotta get creative.

If you and your friends are getting ready to roll out in your Stranger Things Halloween costumes, then the Demogorgon is just the thing to impress your squad while they're too busy fighting over who gets to go as Dustin. It's sure to be a hit costume, and come on, you deserve to live your best Halloween life by going as the scariest character from Stranger Things — which, by the way, looks like this:

Do you consider yourself an artist? If so, you can use fabric paint to add some dimension and detail to your bodysuit so that it more closely resembles the veiny nature of the Demogorgon. Multiple colors will elevate the look, so grab a multi-pack and go to town.

Does being in a bodysuit all night sound like a claustrophobic nightmare? That's OK. If your squad is expecting you to show up in a Demogorgon costume, you don't have to let them down. Just buy this shirt from LookHuman, throw on your comfiest pair of jeans, and prepare for loads of questions about where you got this awesome tee.

No matter how you rock the Demogorgon costume, one thing is for sure: Your Stranger Things costume is gonna slay.
